I don't think this poem has ever been analyzed as being about love. That
analysis only speaks to the first 2 lines and is, I'm sorry, a bit lame.
Most people have analyzed it as another of her poems about the actual self
as seperate from the socialized self. The realization of the actual self
only being possible at death (although she was an atheist and didn't
believe in heaven).

This poem explains true love. It tells how she could have chosen anyone in
the world to be with but because of love, she chose this person.

Of all the Souls that stand create --
I have elected -- One --
When Sense from Spirit -- files away --
And Subterfuge -- is done --
When that which is -- and that which was --
Apart -- intrinsic -- stand --
And this brief Drama in the flesh --
Is shifted -- like a Sand --
When Figures show their royal Front --
And Mists -- are carved away,
Behold the Atom -- I preferred --
To all the lists of Clay
